Xperia Sola in boot loop and won't stay in flashmode - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

As the title say. Now I want to install the stock firmware, but my phone can't stay in flash mode for more than 1 minute. It can only stay in fastboot mode. Since it can't stay in flash mode for long, i can not flash the stock firmware that i downloaded.
hen i flash system.sin or system.img by fastboot, it still says "Download file size too large". the file is >400Mb
How to flash those file now?
What should I do to unbrick my phone (((
EDIT: Okay, i have it stays in flash mode now. But the flashing progress is now stuck at "Reading device information"...

If flashtool isnt doing its thing , u need to reinstall it , download the latest version if u havent ..
And make sure u have the xperia S drivers , nothing should go wrong

Reinstall drivers or try other USB ports
I was struggling with staying in fastboot, and reinstalling all the drivers from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582554
helped.
[in device manager]
I also read that trying other USB ports is a good idea!
(I don't know if I'm the only one, but I needed good reflexes to be able to install the drivers , because the short times the device could stay in the modes, and they only showed up for that short time in device manager...)
I hope this helped! :fingers-crossed:

Actually, everyone needs REALLY good reflexes i am sure about that... Anyway, try using another pc in which u havent done anything

I had this problem too. But the phone doesn't need to be in flash mode all the time does it? Once you select flash, flashtool will tell you to connect your phone in flash mode. Then it'll stay like that while flashing.

Do it in some other PC
-Download latest flashtool, .89 ICS firmware(Most stable).
-Install drivers from flashtool itself.
-It will solve your problem.

Flash only the kernel using flashtool, ics firmware
Tapatalked !
So I have to download the stock firmware and flash it? But I can do this when my phone is on and can't go in recovery mode? And also I cant install USB drivers..
Download and install flashtool. Then install drivers from the flashtool directory. Read the tutorial on how to use it
Tapatalked !
I did, I installed the driver with flashbot for xperia s but when i connect the device it tell me that can't install MTP USB driver. And I also need to turn off the phone but the power button doesn't work..
Hold the power and volume up button for 10 secs to power off. As for the drivers uninstall and reinstall flashtool and see if it works
Tapatalked !
Thanks for your help. I have installed an ics kernel in fastboot mode but when I rebooted I had black screen. So I have turned off the phone and connected in flashboot mode but it didn't install the driver. I reinstalled driver in the folder and tried to connect again but now the pc desn't recognize the device..
I tried again and this time it worked! The phone is restored. Thanks a lot for your help
As you've already got the answer to your query, I'm closing this thread.

[Q] Brick LWW (wt19) HELP PLEASE!!!

Hi, first of all, sorry about my english. I think it's terrible.
I have a SE WT19 stuck on FXP bootloop.
I had installed a custom kernel, but i guess i did something wrong.
At first, my cellphone is on bootloop (in some custom ROMs) or just on black screen.
So, i tried to flash a new kernel with flashtool, or a stock Rom with PCCompanion, but my device is not recognized by Windows 7.
Also is not recognized by Linux, or Mac.
The kernel that bricked my LWW was wt19i-live-rage2.7-kernel-for-fxp-cm7.
There is something possible to bring it alive again?
Ever uninstall and install all drivers and tried in another pc, aways shows the same message.
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer is not working properly, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message." :crying: :crying:

My phone was rooted and unlooked bootloader. I tried ALL CM7/9/10 roms posted in the xda development forum. I have the latest flashtool installed, also the latest drivers. When I connect my phone in fastboot or in flash mode, nothing happens,, cause my pc (and flashtool) do not recognize the device.
Okay but what happens when u connect ur phone to pc while pressing vol up button(without running flashtool)?does the blue led show & pc doesn't recognize it?if yes then go to device manager on my computer & see whats the problem with ur device,try installing it from there.Another question,can u get into CWM?

Nice then ur phone is perfectly okay :good:
just try another pc
or
unistall all related to ur device(flashtool,drivers,android sdk,pc companion,google usb) & reinstall.If that even don't work I suggest u to do a fresh install of windows.
See if it's a problem with the USB port. Are other devices connected to that port recognized? Some of the USB ports in the old PC at my home keep showing that message whatever I connect to it

The phone doesn't seem to be bricked. Try using Flashtool on another computer. Make sure you do have those fastboot drivers(when you first connect your phone to Flashtool in fastboot mode, Flashtool gives you a notification that drivers need to be installed for the device. I confirm that the ones provided in C:\Flashtool\drivers work for LWW )
(Always make sure the kernel is compatible with the ROM you're trying to flash)
Start with the stock kernel(the one provided inside the CM7/CM9 zip - boot.img). Then flash the relevant ROM and see what happens. Once that works fine, start tinkering with various kernels out there.
Don't worry, it's just a soft brick
I haven't bricked my WT19 yet but I did soft brick my former X8 and Someone else's Galaxy something...
What I can advise you do is flash the whole stock .ftf ROM from Sony, just search for the 4.1.B.0.587 firmware, flash it and start from scratch.
About your pc not recognizing your phone: how then did you flash the kernel?? Do have the Sony PC Companion installed on your machine? I have it just for the driveers, I know Flashtool comes with them but I rather have the offiicial somethimes... I think MediaGo also comes with them.
Anyhow, I hope you can get your phone working. Let us know how it went

Hi guys,
All tests done.
Other pc, or OS, do not recognize my device.
Tried another notebook, tried another windows version, another Linux and MacOS, nothing works!!
So, this process of kernel change could cause some hardware damage?
I really can't change the kernel in cwm recovery?
Just to recall, I can change the battery, got the phone in fasboot/flash mode, got CWM working, install new ROM but, or finish with bootloop or with black screen.

[Q] android console

Hi guys,
I'm not an Android expert, but AFAIK is a Linux system.
I'm quite familiar with Unix/Linux world and wondering if there's a way to see the messages during boot just like on a console?
I'm asking, beacause my ray hangs at sony-ericsson logo, and can't figure out what's wrong with it.
Thank you!
to solve problem .. flash your stock .ftf again with flashtool
Well u can use adb for that...use adb logcat...search in xda if u don't know how to use adb...it will give u a complete log as u need

tried to flash stock gb .42 ftf, but still the same, and cwm is gone now, since custom kernel was overwritten by stock one.
regarding adb, all the adb tutorials mentiones to use usb debug mode, but how can I activate debuge mode, once my phone doesn't boot?

i think usb debug will not work anyway if ur phone powered off
try to flash custom kernel again , then u will have CWM , then remove your SD Card and put it in reader , then put any ROM in it , then put it again in ur phone , then flash it with CWM , i made that before with CM ROM & it worked :good:
I tried to flash cutom rom with cwm before flashing stock, but didn't work .
The phone is not powered off when flashing, it's either in fastboot or in flash mode.

I flashed a custom rom.
Actually, i was on ICS, and wanted to try custom GB illuminative.
Flashed the v10, everything was fine, but Ant+ wasn't working, and dev of the rom was helping me to get ant+ working on the device, so he added things to rom required for ant. I did flash some times the rom without issues, but the last was unlucky .
By that time, my BL was locked, so I had to root my phone to install cwm.
Interestingly the cwm was gone after each rom flash, not sure why, so I had to take the process over and flashed GB .42, rooted with doomlord, script, installed x-parts, then cwm from x-parts, and then flash custom rom from cwm.
basically these were the steps I was doing, and after a cwm flash of the custom rom, the phone ended hanging at sony logo.
I then tried different kind of stock firmwars ( ICS, GB ) to flash with flashtool and SEUS as well, without any luck.
afterwards, I unlocked my BL, flashed cusotm kernel with flashtool ( containing cwm ) , then flash a version of the illuminative custom rom which was working before, but still the sam. somebody then advised to flash again a stock ftf, I did a stock GB .42, but still the same.
now, cwm is gone, as stock kernel overwrote the custom one.
That's the story .
As i remember i can enable usb debug even phone not boot to system. By charging phone with pc(not standard charger) then hold power button and at windows(or else) will ask for driver
Ps. I did that with X8, didn't know with 2011's phone.
Sent from my ST27i using xda app-developers app
Hmm okay you could try to flash the unbricking ftf (you can find it in someguyfromhell's sticked thread) and afterwards stock gingerbread or ics again, but I don't know if that could work or maybe make it even worse (normally it's to unbrick if you did an ota update on unlocked bootloader, but let's see). Maybe it's worth a try
The problem about cwm that's gone: if you are still able to boot into fastboot mode, you can flash another kernel and for example try to install cyanogenmod or any other rom. Just try cm10 or cm10.1. Maybe in the end a rom will boot
Sent from my SK17i running stock ics (.587)
tried, and still the same.
The only reason I can think of is that I may forgot once to enable usb debugging, and used flashtool with usb debugging off. could that lead to this kind of issues?
How could I enable usb debugging, without being able to start the phone OS?
tried eswawan's advise, but didn't work.
PS. when I connect the phone in flash mode, flashtool says phone connected with USB debugging off.
Is you connect phone(off) to pc then it goes to offline charging mode???

No, USB debugging off shouldn't lead to such a problem
Try to reinstall all drivers for all devices/modes from flashtool-> drivers. Then you turn the phone off, take off battery, wait 15 seconds, reinsert battery, hold volume up and while holding volume up just connect the phone via usb to your pc. The blue notification led should light up now and then you should be able to flash another kernel. Try it again

With the procedure I posted above it shouldn't simply boot to offline charging mode, so maybe it is a driver problem. Try it step by step like posted above, maybe it could work. If not it was worth a try

what does it mean if it goes to offline charging mode, also what does it mean if it doesn't go?
PS. not sure if it's right, but when I connect the phone to pc, connects in flash mode, even if I don't hold vol down, the notification led is solid green, then the led turns off, Sony Ericsson appears, then the battery with the power sign and finally notification led turns orange. when I short press power button now, the battery with power sign shows up on screen.

Normally while having phone switched off and just holding volume up and connecting to pc the blue led should light up and you are in fastboot mode. If it goes directly into offline charging mode are the wrong drivers installed or you do something wrong or phone is hardbricked...

Umm...as much as I cud understand....u have used sus before flashtool with unlocked bootloader which MIGHT cause the problem...Try these steps(@mihahn though mentioned earlier) -
1. Uninstall flashtool and delete everything related to it.
2. Now reinstall it to your c: drive.
3. Go to C:/Flashtool/Drivers and install flashtool-drivers.exe with all the drivers.
4. Now download this http://www.multiupload.com/Q103V01CV1 and keep it in C:/Flashtool/firmwares(delete everything present in it already)
5. Now start flashtool.
6. Remove battery from your phone and keep the battery out for 15 sec.
7. Reinsert the battery hold down vol-down button and connect your phone to usb cable connected to pc.
8. Now click on the flash icon and select flashmode and flash the files.
9. Now download this - http://www.mediafire.com/?2j7i7rruqxnui3q
10. Now keep it in firmware folder. REMEMBER to delete any previous files prent in the folder.
11. Now go to flashmode in the same manner and flash it.
12. Now boot your phone, it must start

Sorry, I think I wasn't clear enough. I thought I should be connecting the phone without holding any of the volume buttons, just to try if it's charging in offline mode. Here's the exact status.
1. If I do not hold any volume buttons, the phone goes into flash mode ( solid green led ), and after a short while ( 20-30 sec ) led turns off, Sony Ericsson logo shows up, then goes away and battery with power sign is displayed when I short press the power button
2. if I hold vol down, phone behaves the same way as at 1.
3. if I hold vol up, phone goes in fastboot mode ( solid blue led ) and stay solid blue, it is not going into charging mode.

4. and after a cwm flash of the custom rom, the phone ended hanging at sony ericsson logo.
5. I then tried different kind of stock firmwares ( ICS, GB ) to flash with flashtool and SEUS as well, without any luck.
6. afterwards, I unlocked my BL, flashed cusotm kernel with flashtool ( containing cwm ) , then flashed a version of the above mentioned GB illuminative custom rom which was working before, but still the same.

8. tried to flash someguyfromhell's unbrick ftf, which is for the FOTA brick whith BL unlocked, as I understood.
9. reflashed stock GB .42 with flashtool, but phone still hangs at sony Ericsson logo.
In this status, could I connect to the phone using adb, so I could do a adb logcat ?
If so, please advise how.

Once you connect your phone via usb and while you are pressing volume up button, on windows go start-> right click on computer->devices manager. Now you should see your device. Right click and install drivers manually from the folder of the drivers you downloaded.
Notice that you have to be fast since and that maybe you will have to repeat this procedure several times since firsts times phone remains on fastboot for really few seconds.
You can also try another way. Download and install latest flashtool. After that go to Computer-> C:/-> Flashtool-> Drivers-> run Flashtool-drivers. Install the drivers for your device.

[Q] Bricked (Cant boot, turn on the screen)

Hey guys,
So I wanted to try out the newest CM12 ROM with A5.0 but seems like it didnt exactly happen how I wanted it. Rooting the device and then installing the XZDualRecovery without a problem. Then downloaded the ROM and gapps.
I have SGP311 (pollux_windy) so I downloaded that version of the CM12 at first. It said that my device is pollux, which I ofc was dumb enough to just skip and download the pollux ver and then install that one. So I installed the pollux ver instead of pollux_windy and when I hit restart device I didnt see it boot again.
So I wanted to connect it to my PC, PC didnt recognize it ofc. Only way my PC regonizes my tab is by fastboot mode. I had to install a driver for that. And even then only the Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde recognised it. I run into bootloop various times before with my tab and Emma always fixed it but thats unfortunately not the case here as Emma doesnt recognise it either :/
So now here's the problem, I can only do fastboot mode (not flashmode) and the only program able to do sth with my device is this Sony Mobile Flasher. I downloaded a official FW there and wanted to install it but it required me to go into the flashmode which I can't.
Is there sth I can do? The only thing working is the LED and fastboot mode.
Is there a way to put the device into flashmode via PC, that would solve all issues or maybe a trick to go into flashmode? As there was some thread about it but the thing they did didnt work for me :/
Please help
Thanks in advance
Nevermind, I just forgot how to use Emma....
For anyone to whom this happens:
Computer: Open Emma from the Start menu of your computer.
Connect a USB cable to your computer.
Phone: Turn off your tab.
Connect your tab to the USB cable while holding the VOLUME DOWN.
Computer: Select the software you want to flash in the Service list. The tool automatically detects the tab and lists available software versions, which are called Services in this flash tool.
Click on Apply Service. The tab will now be flashed.
Phone: When you have flashed your device, you can disconnect your phone from the computer. The first time you start your device after you have flashed it, the boot-up might take a little longer than normal.
